Story
We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man.

Story
When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people?

From 1990 to 1995, Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. government–approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected 60 volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain.

The breathwork utilizes the remarkable healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. These states engender a rich array of experiences with unique healing potential - reliving childhood memories, infancy, birth and prenatal life, and elements from the historical and archetypal realms of the collective unconscious.

Story
In every mystical wisdom tradition, nonordinary states of consciousness have served as essential tools for discovering why we are here and how we can live richer, more meaningful lives. For over 40 years, Stanislav Grof has tested and brought these methods into the field of modern psychology. Are emotional states and behavioral patterns explained solely by brain chemistry and life experience - or could they be expressions of far vaster universal energies? Which specific mind states most powerfully accelerate integration and healing of the self? And how do you access these states? In The Transpersonal Vision, Grof answers these questions - and raises many others - in a stunning summation of his groundbreaking life's work. You will learn about transpersonal psychology's daring forays into the worlds of the shaman and the mystic; how your perinatal (birth and prebirth) experience profoundly affect you even today; what past-life, near-death, and out-of-body phenomena teach us about our life purpose; and much more.

Dr. Hart did not always have this view. He came of age in one of Miami's most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes.

Publisher's Summary
Called "America's wisest and most respected authority on psychedelics and their use", James Fadiman has been involved with psychedelic research since the 1960s. In this guide to the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose and microdose) purposes, Fadiman outlines best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages learned through his more than 40 years of experience - from the benefits of having a sensitive guide during a session (and how to be one) to the importance of the setting and pre-session intention.
Fadiman reviews the newest as well as the neglected research into the psychotherapeutic value of visionary drug use for increased personal awareness and a host of serious medical conditions, including his recent study of the reasons for and results of psychedelic use among hundreds of students and professionals. He reveals new uses for LSD and other psychedelics, including microdosing, extremely low doses for improved cognitive functioning and emotional balance. Cautioning that psychedelics are not for everyone, he dispels the myths and misperceptions about psychedelics circulating in textbooks and clinics as well as on the Internet.

Not a guide, boring and not well written
After listening Michael Pollan's book on psychedelics I was fascinated with the topic and this book was my next choice, after disappointment with Timothy Leary and his book of the dead. Unfortunately the guide offers very little useful information. The rest is not interesting, boring, not well put together or just raw, a set of scientific survey's outcomes, not even interpreted. I have listened to the end but would not recommend it.

Underwhelming for the initiated
There are a handful of earnest attempts to share entheogenic experiences in the last 3 hours very moving stuff that I think many walkers can relate to. A “darkness retreat” also sounded worthwhile; but overall, just for me, I guess I wanted more. More stories to see if we are all experiencing a similar connection. I don’t know what I expected to be honest, and there are great safety tips for those putting toes in the pool; but I guess if I’m honest I wanted an Alan Watts figure to walk me through his ideas and take aways from several decades of researching psychedelics and the human experience. A high bar I know. Haha, I just wish an 80 year old shaman would write a book of their experiences with people, gods and the plans that bind us. I suppose I should be the change I want to see, right?

A must-read for anyone wanting to safely use these wonderful therapeutic substances. Thank you Dr. Fadiman for taking the time to demonstrate and stress, not only the importance of safety, but also how to achieve the most beneficial effect using the right mindset and setting prior to (and while traveling through) the experience.

Hard to listen to
Everything that normally is put in the foot notes and list of reading on the topic here is read painfully slow out loud. Hence performance is almost unbearable. The story adds nothing to other much better books like Michael Pollan's volume on the same subject. A bunch of links to various web pages that were read out loud in this book might be valuable, I wrote down a few but have not seen them yet. If I knew what this book is I would have not bought it.

The message gets diluted with the abundance of web addresses read and somewhere around chapter 21 I was ready to throw my phone out the window due to the "p=x" read after individual sentences, phrases and even words. Other than that it's a great book. Maybe a PDF with web pages and other unnecessary for audio information would be a good idea

Lots of information
As an eminent researcher and shepherd to future guides and researched this is a comprehensive point in time look at psychedelic experience and exposure in our country. It is sometimes tedious to follow. Lack of high quality current research (because of government bans) means there is quite a bit of annecdotal evidence and story reports. Hopefully this book continues the tradition of psychedelics for personal growth and healing.

Tricky
Hard to accurately review this book as found the narrators voice annoying, was so many website links that were long and could have been referenced differently, quite monotonous but some important and interesting information for someone interested in the development of new mental healthcare treatments. Wouldn’t read again the whole way through but some parts were insightful and overall was worth reading the once. Returning this credit for something I really enjoy. Still very appreciative for James’s efforts to progress our understanding of entheogens and their potential for therapeutic applications.

Clunky narration of a fascinating book
The narrator reads out every single character on the page, no matter how tangental to the narrative. Example 1: in URL’s each and every ampersand, percent sign, and numerical code is laboriously spoken aloud... for no apparent reason. Example 2: in a table of statistics the narrator repeatedly reads out “P less than zero point one” after each sentence. I get that this book is unabridged, but personally I found sections of it impossible to listen to. The distracting nonsense outweighed the content. The rest of the book was fascinating though! And I hope that the author’s wishes come to pass.

Too focused on spirituality
If you are looking for spiritual insight using psychedelics, and don't mind an slightly monotonous talking, this is your book. But if you are here for the science of psychedelics without focusing on spirituality, I wouldn't recommend it. I stopped after 4 hours and don't think I'll go back to it.

this book has some really valuable guidance for those willing to explore the realm of psychedelics, however there is a bit too much history/personal backstorys for what the title implies the book is about. I'd recommend getting the physical version and just reading the guide section if that's why you are interested in this book.

A really good book. Just what I was looking for. Informative , interesting and obviously written by an expert in their field with a genuine passion for the subject. Unfortunately this does not transfer well to audio. The bored, boring sounding monotonous narration was not helped by the decision to read and speak every minutia of every internet address and +/- tolerance of statistics found as if, if even one 'W' from "www. Whatever" has been missed than nobody would be able to find YouTube. I realise that if they had said " just look up so and so on YouTube " people would complain that the directions were vague but I'm just offering my opinion that it spoiled the experience of listening for me. I reiterate, the book itself is great.

This is my first literature on psychedelics and was an excellent start. Well worth it
